There was a neurologist here in TV arrested for driving erratically and having drugs in her car. I don't want to worry about whether my doctor is the best. I want the best. For not just me, but for my family. Not all that much time left in our lives, I want us to be as healthy as we can as long as we can and I want that for everyone I know.

I don't recall anything about Dr. Eagles explaining about the insistence that your doctor be board certified.
And I don't believe one is staking their life on a doctor's accreditation and educational background.
If anything, a person is staking their life on a doctor's past record, reputation and how he relates to you.

There is no way a person could know about a doctor's financial situation unless they had a close personal relationship with one.
So how does this relate to a doctor's performance?
Well, it doesn't.
Would a doctor's medical performance be any different if he was wealthy or not? I sincerely doubt it.

What is the name of the neurologist who was arrested to which you referred?
